Katie McGrath's nude scenes in Labyrinth

* You can see the nips. Katie was practically doing acrobatics with her legs to make sure no full-frontal (lack of trust in the director?). In another scene we get good view of Irish 'bum' and more quick look at her tits. All my fingers are crossed that European version will be uncut and Kate nude scenes will be lengthier with unobstructed view of her breasts, nips and who knows - full frontal! At the moment my optimism is at 50/50.

Exclusive Californication First Look: Is Hank Ready to Rock?

* Maggie Grace is on from 2:05:Season 5 of Californicationended in a bit of a dark place: Hank (David Duchovny) was (possibly fatally) drugged by a bitter ex-girlfriend.

Based on the exclusive first look at Season 6 below, things will remain dark when the show resumes — at least for a little while. "We pick up days after that in the hospital, where Hank has survived but she hasn't," Duchovny says. "This season kind of begins with Hank spiraling down."

Next stop: rehab! And with that comes the return of comedy. "We go to rehab, but it's really just for comedic purposes," Duchovny says.

The video also offers your first look at this season's guest stars. Tim Minchin plays a rock star wanting Hank's help in develop his book God Hates Us All into a Broadway musical. Marilyn Manson and Maggie Grace play some of the characters Hank encounters in the rock 'n' roll world.

Other treats in the clip below: Charlie (Evan Handler) pretends to be gay to land a big client who wants a new agent (excuse us, "gaygent") and Karen (Natascha McElhone) and Marcy (Pamela Adlon) are roomates.

You better not pout and you better not cry, because Santa's got an axe and he's out for blood in the Yuletide horror flick Silent Night (2012). In the grand tradition of such holiday bloodbaths as Christmas Evil (1980) and Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984), Silent Night stars Jaime King as Aubrey Bradimore, a rookie cop who, along with her colleagues Sheriff Cooper (Malcom McDowell) and Deputy Jordan (Brendan Fehr), is charged with solving a string of gruesome murders on Christmas Eve. Could a certain jolly old elf be behind the carnage? You bet your lucky stocking stuffer. Speaking of, Cortney Palm makes the season bright posing for a naughty topless photo shoot before getting her comeuppance from St. Nick 29 minutes in. What a ho, ho, ho!

Eva-ns above!

Telly beauty Longoria strips off for GQ Mexico magazine

Saucy pose ... Eva Longoria in GQ Mexico

EVA Longoria shows why she was always the Housewife men were Desperate to meet - in a jaw-dropping shoot for the Mexican edition of GQ magazine.

The former Wisteria Lane beauty stripped to her smalls for the sizzling snaps, posing in a black strapped bra and matching knickers. The 37-year-old actress looked younger than her years as she struck a saucy pose against a large window, with her toned physique on show.

And the cover image was just as temperature-raising, showing the star's curves in a set of white lingerie with sheer sections. But modest Eva, who was vocal in her support of President Barack Obama during the recent US election, said her stunning appearance isn't the most important thing to her. She said: "I always feel flattered when they say [I'm sexy].

"But I hope people perceive me as beautiful in everything I do in relation to works of charity and philanthropy, or political activism. "For me, those are the things that define beauty. The beauty lies mainly on personality, not on the skin." Ex-Desperate Housewives character Eva is set to make a big-screen appearance in early 2013 with a role in The Baytown Outlaws, which also stars Hollywood star Billy Bob Thornton.

First Two Teaser Trailers for A-and-E’s PSYCHO Prequel Series BATES MOTEL

A couple of tantalizing teaser trailers for A-and-E’s upcoming Psycho prequel series Bates Motel have been released. We just recently saw a batch of images from the show that gave us a look at Freddie Highmore as the legendary Norman Bates and Vera Farmiga as his mother, Norma, and at the time I noted a bit of a Twin Peaks vibe. That comparison seems even more valid after these two trailers, which tease a couple of haunting scenarios and hint that everything might not be what it seems at the eponymous Bates Motel. The series comes from Lost co-showrunner Carlton Cuse and Friday Night Lights alum Kelly Ehrin, so I’ve got high hopes for this one.Hit the jump to watch the teaser trailers. The series also stars Nestor Carbonell, Max Thieriot, Olivia Cooke, and Mike Voel. Bates Motel premieres on A-and-E in Spring 2013.Here’s a synopsis for Bates Motel:

“Bates Motel” serves as a contemporary prequel to the genre-defining film, “Psycho,” and promises to give viewers an intimate portrayal of how Norman Bates’ (Freddie Highmore) psyche unravels through his teenage years and just how deeply intricate his relationship to his mother, Norma (Vera Farmiga), truly is.

* something tells me there will be nudity on Bates Motel. Flashy editing and brief breasts IMHO. Co-show runner Kerry Ehrin of Friday Night Lights fame is heavily involved and it proves one theory I know is true: women are fucking obsessed with serial killers. Don't know why but it has something to do with danger of unknown which is a big turn on for the ladies.

I know that KrisJenner is a worse version of Dr. Frankenstein (and lacks all literary merit to boot), but don’t these girls have a single positive influence in their lives? KendallJenner has just joined the ranks of KourtneyKardashian, who took sex pictures with her boyfriend while she was a minor (which the FBI calls “possession of child pornography”), KimKardashian has dozens of sex tapes out there waiting join the fame of her Ray J hit, and KhloeKardashian is flashing viewers of The X Factorevery chance she gets. In fact, it’s a wonder that 17-year-old Kendall Jenner held out for as long as she did!

The Miss Vogue covergirl/high school drop out treated her Twitter followers today by posting a topless picture with a Kardashian motto written across that reads, “Keep it classy, never trashy, just a lil’ nasty.” The photo is a composite of four grainy sepia toned pictures of MarilynMonroe in various stages of toplessness–covering up with a small towel, or perhaps very large roses? It’s hard to tell! We hoped that Bruce Jenner’s fatherly concern would help his youngest daughters keep their clothes on, but apparently momager Kris Jenner has taken the reigns and is driving her daughters down the path that leads to fleeting famewhore success followed by an untimely death brought on by a deadly concoction of over the counter medication, vodka, and self loathing.

Kendall recently talked about her dream of writing children’s books and becoming a fashion designer, but apparently the basic math and literacy was beyond her. She’s chosen to take the shortcut path by riding on her half-sister’s fame, dressed in nothing but a see through skirt with an arm across her chest. I would find it a little more palatable if she were at least over 18, but this girl is not even a legal adult and already is pro at selling her body. What do you think of her promiscuous tweet and philosophy? Is anything the Kardashian Klan does classy?

* Okay, this may sound pervy but can't wait for her to turn 18 and pose nude in name of modeling. Sex tape will be much better though.

TV star MeghanMarkle shares experiences on prejudice

USA Network's Meghan Markle, star of the SUITS, was at Berea High School today and participated in a storytelling program and school assembly during which students will shared their experiences with discrimination and bigotry. / ANGELIA DAVIS/Staff

When Meghan Markle, star of the USA Network original drama “SUITS,” was asked if she wanted to come to Greenville to be part of USA Network’s Characters Unite Storytelling Tour, it was a “no brainer.”

Markle, who “dealt with a lot” growing up with a black mother and white father, said the cable network’s campaign to fight prejudice, hate and discrimination is one that she connects with on a personal level.Markle shared her experience and had a front-row seat to hear how 10 Berea High students overcame being bullied, religious intolerance, bigotry and other forms of discrimination when the tour stopped Friday at the school in northwestern Greenville County.

“When I knew that kids were going to be brave enough to tell their stories, I felt I had to be here to support it and be a part of it, ” said Markle, who stars as sassy paralegal Rachel Zane on the SUITS series.

“I think it might just help them understand that we are all connected and we’re all in this together,” Markle said.

The tour, themed “A More Perfect Union: Stories of Prejudice and Power,” was at Berea courtesy of USA Network, The Moth, a non-profit storytelling organization, and Charter Communications.

The goal of the tour is to use the power of storytelling to foster greater tolerance and acceptance and to encourage a more productive dialogue.

It’s based on the premise that life is richer when people see beyond stereotypes and really accept people for who they are, said Fred Haug, director of marketing for NBCUNiversal. “After all, the U.S. is made up all these great characters.”

According to Haug, Berea is the tour’s 10th stop nationwide. It’s the only school to host the tour in the state.

When USA Network partnered with Charter, they asked the cable company to help find a school, Haug said.

The Berea school really showed a willingness to be a part of the program, said Kristina Hill, spokesman for Charter. “He (Berea Principal Mike Noel) really thought it would be something powerful for his students.”

Berea is in the most diverse part of Greenville County, Noel said, and has one of the most diverse student bodies.

Noel said, “This program helps them tell the story and also tells the story of Berea High School. Our diversity is our strength. We have been able to grow because of our diversity, not despite of diversity.”

At the end of the assembly Friday, Berea was presented with a $1,000 check from USA Network to continue efforts behind Characters Unite.Noel said the school will move forward with its anti-bullying campaign that’s already underway with the creation of public service videos to show in school.

Will Smith Behind ‘Kingpin’ for Cinemax

Producer/Actor Will Smith attends the “Free Angela and All Political Prisoners” premiere during the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival at Roy Thomson Hall on Sept. 9, 2012 in Toronto

Will Smith and James Lassiter’s Overbrook Entertainment have two TV shows in development at different networks, reports Deadline.com.

HBO’s sister channel Cinemax has its hands on “Kingpin,” an hourlong drama from Black List writer Chad St. John (“Ronin”). It centers on a crafty and careful mid-level drug trafficker trying to get out of the business. He is blackmailed back into it by a dirty DEA agent — who’s really a dirty CIA agent, because the agency can no longer work with murderous cartels — who secretly plans to make the trafficker a puppet kingpin.

“Kingpin” is one of two drama projects St. John and Overbrook are collaborating on, along with “Watchlist,” which recently sold to Fox.

“Watchlist” is about two ex-clandestine Special Ops teammates who sacrifice their normal lives to come to the rescue of a third former teammate who is framed by a powerful CIA faction for a political assassination. A game of cat and mouse on the streets of Boston ensues as the trio takes on the technology and unlimited budget of the CIA.

I’ve been getting several emails from young girls interested in joining the beauty pageants I’ve participated before, in hopes of being the next Miss xx Malaysia. Why would they ask me? I didn’t win the pageant.

But I figured they asked because I was more contactable compared to the winners, who are now busy modeling, acting or hosting. And also because I often reply to reader/fan emails and blog comments, making me an easier target to approach.

Can a title change your life? It sure can!

My last pageant was in 2010 and I got hitched in 2011. That officially made me ineligible to participate in any beauty pageants, save for the “Mrs Malaysia” ones.

But I still replied to these hopeful girls, telling them the pros and cons about joining a beauty pageant and the to dos and not to dos when you’re in one. I was talking to Christy a few days back about how appalled I am at how some pageants are organized these days.

REALITY SHOW??

I get that they need to add value to sponsors, so product placements are necessary. But I cannot stand how biased the judges are when it comes to the girl. It’s been the same shit story over and over again.

“If a girl wins many subsidiary titles, it doesn’t mean she will win the pageant.”

Bullshit. She will most likely win. End of story. #true story

There was a pageant incident where a videographer was instructed to give more footage to five girls, especially two of them. These two girls ended up as the winner and first runner-up. And the other three girls were in the top 5. So don’t believe what they tell you about “Every girl is treated fairly and stand an equal chance in winning”. Pageant world is dark and full of red tapes.

My last pageant was the worst pageant I’ve participated in. Not only was it badly organised, it was the worst, terribly biased pageant experience I’ve encountered. The winner was clearly chosen from the beginning. From the preferential treatment, special attention right to her misdemeanors forgiven. No matter how hard the rest of us girls tried, there was no hope.

Watching the latest videos of a national pageant really pissed me off. Clearly, the pageant director already has a winner in mind. The two girls of her choice received “surgical enhancements” and subsequently, “teeth enhancements”. While the other contestants received RM1,000 cash vouchers.

What the can one do with RM1,000?? The amount isn’t enough to fix crooked, uneven lips or droopy eyes. Come on … you think the other girls don’t feel it? Isn’t that considered preferential treatment? The viewers aren’t stupid And the girls (some very young and green) sure as hell aren’t. I’m sure they felt disappointed and demotivated. It was obvious in the videos.

A couple of girls were eliminated because the pageant director felt they weren’t improving enough. Eh hello! Why did you let these girls into the finals then? Based on your many years of experience, don’t you think you are able to tell if a girl has the potential to represent her country?

I honestly believe (and some were proven) that many pageants in Malaysia are rigged. It’s either you are the judges’ favourite, a potentially outstanding contestant (good for you) or a slutty one. Some are there because they have potential. Some are chosen because in every pageant, there is a quota filler and they need more girls to make the reality series look good.

To the girls feeling the pain and disappointment, trust me. Don’t bother listening to the pageant tips or advices from the pageant director/judges. They have already chosen the top 3 winners. I know, they tell you everything is fair… there are no biasness and that whole load of crap.

But let’s use some logic here. Would you sponsor or focus on a girl whom you think doesn’t have the quality of a pageant winner? Girls, don’t waste your time. Spare yourself the misery and just EAT, DRINK and BE MERRY. Don’t waste any more energy trying to impress the judges (who are just as twisted).

And to the future winner; you’re in for a huge, live changing experience. Be prepared to lose yourself and integrity. Good luck.

Kortney Olson, the woman at the centre of NRL porn scandal, defends her right to train Gold Coast Titans U/20s team

KORTNEY Olson, the woman at the centre of the NRL porn scandal, has defended her right to train under-20s players amid calls for her and husband, Gold Coast Titans CEO David May, to be sacked.

Speaking exclusively with News Limited, Olson talked of her turbulent past, revealing her struggle with being raped at 17 and battle to overcome alcohol and drug abuse, including a reliance on crystal methamphetamine."I've had time to process my past, and realise that I'm a human being born to make mistakes," Olson said. "It's a constant reminder that I don't ever want to find myself under the influence of narcotics or booze because, clearly, I don't make the best choices."

Gold Coast Titans trainer Kortney Olson

The Titans landed in controversy after revelations Olson, a former fetish-porn star, joined the club a fortnight ago in a strength and conditioning volunteer's role.The mother of a Gold Coast junior yesterday called on ARL Commission chairman John Grant to sack May, saying the appointment of his former porn star wife smacks of nepotism and is a public relations disaster for rugby league.News Limited has obtained some offensive and pornographic material featuring Olson, 31, a natural bodybuilder and fitness fanatic. Some of the pictures and videos are so sexually explicit they cannot be published.Titans players are aware of the material, with two staffers angry at Olson's involvement with under-20s players.But Olson yesterday said her life as a porn star is in the past. Determined to rebuild her life, she has no plans to quit after overcoming her battle with substance abuse."It's been several years since I've gone down that path," she said."I'm not ashamed and embarrassed by what I've done."It's a part of my learning experience and has made me who I am today."All I can do, and have a desire to do, is help mentor others who find themselves in the same struggles."Unless I'm asked to leave the Titans, I wouldn't walk away from an amazing opportunity such as this."Olson says she first turned to alcohol at 17 after being assaulted by her former boxing coach.At 23, she developed an addiction to drugs but has been clean for two years.The explicit content is a major breach of the NRL's code of conduct, which pertains to upholding the image of the NRL.An NRL spokesman said yesterday: "Our understanding is that she is not an employee of the club and has no official capacity beyond volunteering in an area where she has some expertise. "There are a number of personal issues involved in this and we do not see this as a matter in which the NRL should intervene."

Least Influential Jews

We’re heading into the end of the year, so it’s time for GQ’s list of the 25 least influential people of 2012. When it comes to this distinction, the tribe is represented by troubled starlet Amanda Bynes (ranked #2!), Oscars host Billy Crystal, “The Newsroom” writer Aaron Sorkin, and actor Adam Sandler.

There are only eight contestants remaining on “The X Factor,” and 13-year-old phenom Carly Rose Sonenclar is in the lead. With Sonenclar’s amazing rendition of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep,” she continued to impress the audience and the judges, including Simon Cowell who joked that he would have to disqualify her for being an alien (because how could a young teenage human have such a powerful, soulful voice?).

Fran Drescher is a cougar and proud of it. The 55-year-old actress told HuffPo in a video interview that, with her high energy level and contemporary tastes, she’s really only interested in dating younger men. She’s doing her best to impose some limits, and says she’ll try to stick to guys who are no more than 10 years her junior.

A couple of new bundles of joy have entered the world. Fred Savage and wife Jennifer welcomed their third child, a boy. Judge Judy (Scheindlin) now has a complete jury with the arrival of her 12th grandchild, a little girl born to her son Gregory and his wife Laurie.

Daniel Radcliffehas made it into the Sundance Film Festival for the first time, with his drama “Kill Your Darlings, in which he plays poet Allen Ginsberg. The film about the Beat Generation will compete in the U.S. dramatic competition at the festival in January.

Lisa Edelstein is going from “House” to “House of Lies.” She will have a guest starring role on the latter, a Showtime program with Don Cheadle.

Comedic actor Jack Black is girding himself in advance of his being roasted by the Friars Club this coming April. “Anyone could really take me to pieces. I’m not gonna give any ammunition away,” he said. “I regret having ever agreed to it, but I’m going to go through with it.”

Jesse Eisenberg and Dakota Fanning were seen strollingtogether in New York’s Soho neighborhood. This, of course, means the two are dating. Or not.

HuffPo feels it necessary to point out that celebrity siblings have inherited some beauty genes, too. In a slideshow of handsome brothers and pretty sisters of people famous for their good looks, we see: James Franco’s younger brother Dave; Scarlett Johansson’s twin brother Hunter; and Kate Hudson’s older brother Oliver.
